AI Article Synopsis

  • - A new series of garnets named ErGaO has been studied, revealing their crystal structures in both polycrystalline and single-crystal forms, with specific site occupancy of Er ions.
  • - The garnet phase transition occurs at a range of 0.5 to 0.6, exhibiting long-range antiferromagnetic order at low temperatures (around 0.8 K) that suggests unusual magnetic properties due to frustration.
  • - The study indicates that while the magnetic ordering temperature remains constant despite varying Er amounts, increased Er excess leads to higher residual entropy and aligns with behaviors seen in frustrated magnetic systems under applied fields.

Article Abstract

A series of garnets of formula ErGaO are described, for which we report the crystal structures for both polycrystalline and single-crystal samples. The limit in the garnet phase is between 0.5 and 0.6 under our conditions, with the Er fully occupying the dodecahedral (24c) garnet site plus some of the octahedral site (16a) in place of the Ga normally present. Long-range antiferromagnetic order with spin-ice-like frustration is suggested by the transition temperature ( ≈ 0.8 K) being lower than the Curie-Weiss theta. The magnetic ordering temperature does not depend on the Er excess, but there is increasing residual entropy as the Er excess is increased, highlighting the potential for unusual magnetic behavior in this system. The field-dependent magnetic entropy trend is consistent with the reported behavior for frustrated triangular magnetic systems: an increasing transition temperature with a broader hump as the applied field increases [Xing, J.; 2019, 3(11), 114413;Filippi, J.; 1977, 23(9), 613-616; Bloxsom, J. A. Thermal and Magnetic Studies of Spin Ice Compounds. University College London, 2016].

Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is a key reaction in electrochemical water splitting for hydrogen production leading to the development of potentially sustainable energy technology. Importantly, the catalysts required for HER must be earth-abundant for their large-scale deployment; silicates representing one such class. Herein, we have synthesized a series of transition mono- and bi- metal metasilicates (with SO32- group) using facile wet-chemical method followed by calcination at a higher temperature.

Carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methanol is a key chemical reaction to store energy in chemical bonds, using carbon dioxide as an energy sink. Indium oxide is amongst the most promising candidates for replacing the copper and zinc oxide catalyst, which is industrially applied for syngas mixtures but less idoneous for educts with carbon dioxide due to instability reasons. The polymorph of indium oxide and the operating conditions remain to be optimized for optimal and stable performance.

Realizing Strong and Robust Quasi-1D Superconductors via Multiorbital Chains: NaBe as an Example.

Phys Rev Lett

December 2024

State Key Laboratory of Low Dimensional Quantum Physics and Department of Physics, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China.

Quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) systems are inherently unfavorable for superconductivity due to electronic instabilities and significant quantum fluctuations. This has led to a half-century-long pursuit of strong and robust Q1D superconductors. Herein, we propose an effective multiorbital chain approach that utilizes the interorbital self-doping to not only suppress the instability but also to position the Fermi level near the band edges.

Pressure-Dependent Electronic Superlattice in the Kagome Superconductor CsV_{3}Sb_{5}.

Phys Rev Lett

Institute for Quantum Materials and Technologies, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Kaiserstrasse 12, D-76131 Karlsruhe, Germany.

We present a high-resolution single crystal x-ray diffraction study of kagome superconductor CsV_{3}Sb_{5}, exploring its response to variations in pressure and temperature. We discover that at low temperatures, the structural modulations of the electronic superlattice, commonly associated with charge-density-wave order, undergo a transformation around p∼0.7  GPa from the familiar 2×2 pattern to a long-range-ordered modulation at wave vector q=(0,3/8,1/2).

Atom-ion hybrid systems are promising platforms for the quantum simulation of polaron physics in certain quantum materials. Here, we investigate the ionic Fermi polaron, a charged impurity in a polarized Fermi bath, at zero temperature using quantum Monte Carlo techniques. We compute the energy spectrum, residue, effective mass, and structural properties.
